Decoration Tips:
Once baked and still warm, drizzle these rolls with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and thick cream for an extra touch of sweetness. The glaze not only adds flavor but also makes them look more tempting. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some lemon zest over the glaze for a pop of color and a hint of citrus.
Ingredients:
- Dough: Start by dissolving 20g of fresh yeast in 100ml of warm milk with a tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour. Let it sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes. Then, mix 300g of all-purpose flour (preferably type 550 or 500), 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 eggs, and 50g of melted, cooled butter in a mixer, adding the risen yeast mixture to form the dough. Let it rise for about 1 hour under cover.
- Filling: Blend 450g of high-quality cream cheese with an egg yolk, the zest of one lemon, and a tablespoon of powdered sugar.
Method:
- After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle and spread the cheese mixture evenly on top. Tightly roll up the dough and cut it into 2-3 cm slices. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each for them to expand.
- Brush the rolls with an egg yolk and let them rest for about 20 minutes to puff up further. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (338°F) for about 20 minutes.
- For the glaze, mix ¾ cup of powdered sugar with a tablespoon of thick cream (18%) and drizzle over the warm rolls.
